Hiving of Christ-Its Observ?t
the Churches. * '
Easter Sunday, tbe brightest and mo
ous festal season of the year, dawne
and gloomy yesterday morning, an
first feeling o? the whole city was one
appointment. The morning services,
ever, were well attended, and the atte
were more than repaid by the eloqnei
mons and Impressive ceremonies a
of the churches. Toward noon the clou
? persedand a bright and glorious afb
succeeded, inviting every one to ei
prayer. To the disappointment of the
lng succeeded the consolation of the
noon, and the traditional Easter was rt
after all in all its wealth ol beauty an
nlflcance. , -
CHURCH OF THC HOLT COMMUNION,
The floral decorations ol this bei
Church were, as might bave been exp
among the most tasteful and effective
city. The new and gorgeous chancel
edifice afforded an excellent opportun!
the display of taste, and the decorations
mainly confined to this space, making 1
beauty of sentiment and delicacy ofe
tion, what was lacking In the quantity of
era and evergreens. The most prom
feature ol the display was a bed of hot-1
plants and flowers, in bloom npon the i
whic& was arranged just in the rear c
chancel rall. Reclining in tile midst ol
.parterre of flowers was a white marble c
thrown down upon its sideband surmot
by the'living blossoms and symbolizing
triumph of Iii? over death, as shown ID
resurrection of the Saviour, succedinr.
death on the cross. The altar in the rea:
covered with baskets of cut flowers, lnclc
jap?nicas, mignonettes and Jessamine,
above this was a cross of jessamine le
and blossoms also reclined. The rea
* desk, organ front anti choir stalls were
tastefully decorated, anO in the body ol
church long garlands of evergreens were
todned between the windows, and hung 1
? pendants ol the roof.
It ls well known that the services at
church are of. a more elaborate and cen
nlous nature than have yet been adopted
the other Episcopal churches lu the city,
lt was perhaps partly due to this fact and
expectation that the Easter services woulc
particularly impressive, that the present
the large congregation that crowded
church ^at both of the services yesterday
owing. In the morning there, was a full ch
Bervice, " processional vand recessional,' (
ducted by the rector, the Rev. A. Toomer ]
ter, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Murdock. '
quartette choir of the church, under the dil
tion of Mr. Senior, chorister, was augmen
by a chorus o? boys from the Parochial sch?
who have been In training but a few we
' under the direction of the accomplished
ganlst, Mr. Ransome, but who already dist
a creditable degree ol proficiency. The m<
hers of the choir and the organist were clotl
io surplices, in accordance with the rec
custom of this church. The sermon i
preached by the rector from St. Luke xxiv,
"And they lound the stone rolled away fr
the sepulchre"-and waa a vindication of
doctrine of resurrection. Prominent ame
the Ideas advance! was that the church, wh
was represented as the body of Christ, m
rise again to be rejoined to its bead in Chrl
k and that the Saviour, who is the King of Hei
en, would In eternity be surrounded by :
subjects, the faithful members of His chun
At evening prayer, at half-past four P. 1
there, was a crowded congregation. Eve
pew Iii the church was Ailed-,- and double ro
" of seats were placed along the aisles. T
full choral service was conducted by .the ri
tor, and at its conclusion Mr. Poi ter took c
caslon to make a statement in relation te t
changes that had been Introduced in the s<
vice of his church. He said that ever sin
he had witnessed in England the forms
praise employed In the Church of Englai
and had listened with pleasure tor six mont
to those services, he had felt a strong desi
to enrich the service of bis own church in
similar way, although, perhaps, to less e
tent. He bad since, by the advice and wi
the consent ol his vestry and parishioners, 1
troduced the choral service and the surpllc*
chair. At the last general convention of tl
Episcopal Church, he had been glad to see
wide |soge of discussion upon this subjec
and he believed it was there settled thi
whenever any parish desired to enrich the
service of praise by tbe introduction of elttu
of these features they had a perfect right t
do so. Since that general convention, ti
had had one Interview with the late Blsho
Davis, and during that conversation be ba
asked the bishop one question, in order t
obtain his opinion in regard to these change
. in Hie form of praise. He had said to th
bUhop, "Now, I suppose that parishes adopt
lng the choral service and surpliced choir ar
not to be called Ritualistic ?" Bishop Davi
replied, "No, slr, we shall have to conced
that ; and I thank God that I have attende*
this convention, lor I have returned wltl
Dreader and more catholic views.'' Mr. Porte
explained that the essence of ritualism wa
the adoration of the emblem-the belief tba
in the bread and wine partaken .ol by com
municantB was to be found the actual bod;
and blood of the Saviour-and be lnvoket
upon himself a most solemn curse if by an j
act of his* should permit-not to Bay lead
any iorm of worship that should be an in
frlDgement upon the canons and the rubrio o
the church.
? [. ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH.
At St. Philip's there was the usual lavish
prolusion ot floral decorations. The noble in?
terior was a beautiful picture, with its rich
hangings of evergreens, dotted with the blos?
soms df a hundred ransacked gardens. Twc
rows of garlands encircled the-church, the
lowerone ?festooned from pillar to" pillar, and
meeting in a large rosetta above the window
in rear of the chancel, and the upper row de?
pending from the superior capitals of the same
pillars, with its ends looped up to the ceiling
In front of the chancel. From the base oi
each pillar up to the floor of the gallery a spi?
ral weath of evergreen enclosed the column,
and on the la je of tbe gallery, between each
pair of columns, the two gas brackets were
enclosed in wreaths, from which depended
hanging basket? .filled with natural flowers,
and covered with a graceful drapery oi wood
moss. In the centre of the chancel window
waa,a,.large,,cross, of evergreen, and above
this the emblematic crown. At each corner of
the chancel a marble .cross rose from a mound
of moss, and was hiing with garlands of cut
flowers, and at frequent intervals around the
chancel wall were wreaths and clusters of
roses, jessamine and magnolia blossoms. The
reading, desk was. tastefully trimmed with
flowers, and the pulpit was very richly deco?
rated.. Around the base was a thick wreath of
evergreen and flowers, and on the front was
displayed a floral cross, encircled by a wreath.
The vestibule of the church was ornamented
with a mound oi grass and moss and flowers
in the'centre of the floor, from which arose a
heavy cross of evergreen.
Thr^church was well filled with an attentive
COD gregal ion, bot the threatening weall
the;morning doubtless prevented the el
ate display of toilets tbat would othe
have been made. Tba full service of mo
prayer was conducted by the Rev. Mr.,
8on,and an eloquent discourse was preach
Bishop Howe. The text was from I Cor
ans, xv, 44: "There is a natural body,
there is a spiritual body," and the disc
was an explanation ol the belief of the cl
regarding the mystery of resurrecilon.
reverend gentleman showed from the tex
the concurrent writings of fe t. Paul tba
believer would be clothed with a corp
body, not an serial film, but an actual
bearing resemblance to the incarnate Ct
proceeding from Him, and adapted tc
capacity and requirements of immortal li
completely as the human body is flited tc
necessities of mortal existence. He enlo
the doctrine that the resurrecilon wouk
be merely a reanimation ol the human in
fortbat at the last trump there wouldst!
many millions of the human race alive t
the earth, but lt would be the assumptio
the immortal part of man of its eternal t
ment by a process as subtle and inscrutib
is the principle of life in the human frc
which no analysis is subtle enough, no dh
tion delicate enough to locate or explain,
it would be universal, coincident and ins
taneous-"in a moment, in the twinblln
an eje, at the last trump."
The services of Easter Monday and Ea
Thursday will be held at St. Philip's at 1
M. each day, and at noon to-day the ant
Easter election #111 take place, the polls bc

leaves and flowers; and the chancel was v
gracefully hung with wreaths and garlar
A large white cross stood conspicuot
against the darkened background of
chancel window, and the I. H. S. in wt
letters upon a green ground was especie
remarked and admired; as was, also a wre
and monogram of autumn leaves on the fr?
of the altar-cloth. The large chandelier wh
hangs in the middle o? the church Is alwi
a prominent feature in the bi-annual deco
tiona, and covered with moss and flowers,
it was yesterday, it afforded a most grace
centre-piece to the whole scene.
The Warren Te Deum was chanted with fl
effect by a fall choir, and the various East
hymns and chants were also beautifully rc
dered.
The rector, Rev. B, S. Trapier, preach
from Acts, 2d chapter, 24th verse: "Becau
lt was not possible that He should be hold
of it." The sermon was a strong and det<
mined assertion of the literal resurrection
the personal, identical dead body "in spl
of the reveries of a vain philosophy, and tl
dogmas of science falsely so-called."
CHACE CHURCH.
The beautiful' interior of this church w
elaborately adorned. Around the walls we
festoons of evergreens, looped up wi
wreaths, and the pillars were spirally e
twined with the same ornaments. The alti
was also adorned with green, varied by bani
some natural flowers, and at intervals b
tween the pillars hung baskets o? Ivy an
floating moss. At the main entrance was
mossy stand of odorous white flowers, diffu
lng a delicious perfume. By far the moi
striking decorations, however, were the larg
wreaths suspended la regular order beneat
the lofty Gothic arch of the central roo
These hung in mid-air over the central alsl<
attached to the side walls at the beginning c
the arch by four divergent chalnB of evei
green. The dark green of tne wreaths we
varied by white lilies, and in each wreath wa
a moss basket or a collection of flowers. Th
Rev. C. C. Pinckney, rector, conducted th
morning service, and delivered an interestln
discourse appropriate lo the occasion. In th
evening the church was filled, until mau,
went away, byan immense assemblage to hea
a sermon by the Rt. Rev. \V. B. W. Howe.
.ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
This venerable edifice 1B too vast for gene
ral decoration, but the chancel was elaborate
ly dressed with evergreens and flowers. Th
font was adorned In perfect taste,' the beaut,
of the hyaclncths around the shalt being re
markable. On the front of the pulpit was ai
exquisite cross of natural flowers, and in iron
of the east window was a- giant cross o
flowers and evergreens. Suspended iu mid
air, over the chancel, was the festal lnscrip
tion: "He ?B risen !" And before the Chol
wa9 the joyous word: "Alleluia !"
A noticeable feature of the church wa9 th<

terday. It has thivty-two lights, and is ai
handsome a piece of workmanship, of its kind
as can be found in the city.
ST. LUKE'S CHURCH
was decorated with evergreen wreaths around
the walls, and made a fine show in its Eastei
dress. The dark green of the wreaths wa;
tastily relieved with white flowers, and in the

baskets of ivy and moss. Tne large stained
glass window at the back oi' the chancel bore
additional festoons of cedar, lorming an
agreeable surrounding to a large cross of
laurel leaves, surmounted by a handsome fie?
rai wreath. The reading desk was decorated
with cedar and white flowers, and bore a
cross of flowers upon its front, while its 'jase
was concealed by a mound of gray mos ; and
beautiful, odorous white flowers. Two Stands,
on the right and left of the chancel , were
filled with rare plants and lovely flowers, and
added greatly to the general effect. The ser
vices were condncted by the Rev. "Jr. Pren?
tiss, who delivered an able discourse from the
text, " Of one Jesus which was aead, whom
Paul affirmed to be alive"-Acts xxv, 19.
THE HUGUENOT CHURCH.
The interior of this sacred edifice affords but
few facilities Jqr an extenstve decoration, but
the efforts of its artists were directed with
taste and .skill, and resulted in a success,
which called .forth general admiration. The
altar and font were arrayed with the usual
evergreens, but these served as a background
for a profusion ol natural flowers of all colors.
Over the altar In letters of gold, surrounded
by green, were the words, "Peace be unto
you," and benath this was a large cross, upon
whlob. hung a lovely floral wreath. The gal?
lery was also neatly decorated, and on a red
ground was the text, "My Redeemer Liveth"
In gilt , letters. On the north wall of the
church was an evergreen representation of a
tablet enclosed In borders of evergreen.
Within this was a cross, and beneath it were the
word8in gilt letters, "For the sighing of the
needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord." The
music was particularly Bweet, and was well
selected under the direction of Professor

God, to thee," which was beautifully rendered.

piece was admirable In every respect. ;

The quarterly celebration of the Sunday
school connected with the First Baptist Church
was held yesterday afternoon, and was attend?
ed by a large gathering of scholars and visi?
tors. Ol' the five or six beautiiul hymns sung
by the children, two deserve special notice,
oelog new and touchingly rendered. These
were "The Sweet Bye-and-bye," and "Beyond
the Smiling and the Weeping." The reiterat?
ed strain In the latter, "I shall be soon," was
charmingly rendered, and coming as it did
from the lips of these smiling Utile ones so full
ol life, lt appeared to overflow with tenderest
pathos. Toe addresses of the superintendent,
Mr. S. Hyde, and the paetor, Rev. L. H. Shuck,
were highly interesting and enchained the
attention of thc congregation.
At the close of the services, just as the sun

"Fading, still lading," were chanted, and the

No WAR.-The matter o? the firing Into a
small boat in the harbor, on Thursday last,
from the British ship Julia, was Investigated
on Saturday before Trial Justice Magrath.
The three American citizens who had stood
the test of the six-pounder and grape failed
to appear to substantiate their affidavits, and
could not be found by the most enthusiastic
constables. The captain of the ship and crew
were forthwith discharged, there being no
evidence against them. The captain stated
that they had fired the cannon with nolbing
but powder in it, and that this was done In
reply to the fire which the small boat opened
on them. As the occupants of the latter can?
not be found, the whole affair is, and probably
will remain, a mystery.
Captain Baker states that the published ac?
counts of this affair have done him an Injus?
tice in intimating that he fired grapeshot into
the boat, and that he acted without provoca?
tion. He Bays that the boat approached the
side ol the vessel, and one of the party used
abusive and threatening language toward the
officers of his vessel, after which two pistol
shots were fired from the boat, one of which
Just missed the boatswain of the ship. The
next afternoon the same boat again approach?
ed the ship, and the captain discharged a
blank cartridge from a six pound gun to warn
them off. He says further that he was after?
ward approached by the prosecutors who of?
fered to compromise upon the payment by
him of flay dollars. This he refused, and as

THE ART IDEA.-TO combine the useful and
the beautiful has ever been one of the highest
Ideas of art, and in visiting the well known
book depository of Mr. Fogarile lu the bend
of Klag street, we were struck with the hap
py Illustration of the mingling Of literature and
art. Around the walls, on the tables, over
the books aod In every possible place, a large
and choice selection of chromos are. hung
They are large and small, framed and un
framed, landscape and legendary, from old
masters and from new ones; In tact, of every
kind and price. The busy throng of Easter
shoppers surging along King Btreet in Satur?
day's sunshine, seemed here to find a magnetic
attraction ,fo r all day long ladles and gentlemen
were admiring the pictures. Mr. Fogartle
will be pleased to have this gallery of art visit?
ed by all our citizens, and we would advise an
early call before the choicest one's are sold.

GOOD TIMES.-Toe "good time coming" bas
at last arrived, especially to our lady friends.
We to-day witnessed the working of the most
remarkable Invention of the age, and are
forced to admit that an object, long and vain?
ly sought, and generally deemed impossible,
is at last accomplished. Science ha? wrought
many remarkable changes heretofore, but
none that excel in intrinsic worth its present
victory over the wash board. With the aid ol
the " Dollar Reward Soap," any ordinary wash?
ing is done without wash-board or machine of
any kind in two hours lime. The manufactu?
rers will pay one dollar on demand to any per?
son using their soap, If it fails in doing as
claimed. Also, ten times the value of all ar?
ticles that may be Injured by its use. BOWIE.
